18. The sights of all the three worlds, are equally fallacious both in their tangible and intangible forms; as the vision of one object in a dream, is as false as another in their visionary nature. (The gloss says that, one error succeeds another, in the same way as one lie is followed by another). 19. We have clear conceptions of the fallacies, arising in our minds, both in our dreams and imagination; but the fallacies of our waking dreams by broad daylight, are more obvious and never less conspicuous to our apprehension than either of them (the latter being more general and lasting than the former ones). 20. The king said:--But tell me sir, how virtue and vice, both of which are bodiless things (as being the abstract qualities of our actions), assume to themselves the bodily forms of living beings, in the course of the transmigration of our souls. (Virtuous souls being blessed with human bodies, while vicious spirits are doomed to suffer in various brutish forms). 21. Vasishtha replied:--There is nothing impossible to the creative power of Brahmá, to be produced in the imaginary fabric of this world of his mind; nor is it impracticable to the substantive divine will to give substantial forms to understand things. (The substantive will is called _satyasankulpa_ which brings the inexistent to real existence). 22. There is nothing which is unimaginable, and cannot be produced by the mind of Brahmá; as it is with us to have no idea of anything and nothing in being, of which we have no imagination in our finite minds. (Brahmá has given forms to all the imaginary ideas of his mind, which we cannot do to our formless and abstract idea of any). 23. A visionary city in the dream and an imaginary castle of fancy, do both present the like ideal form to the mind; and yet both of them are composed of a train of ideas, which appear as real objects for the time being. (So the ideal seems as real for a time). 24. All the numerous thoughts, which lie as a dead and dormant mass, in the states of our deep and sound sleep; appear to us in endless forms in the vision of our dream and waking our imagination and leave their traces in the memory. 25. Who is there that has not had the notion, of the aerial castles of his dream and imagination; and found them not to be composed of our concepts only, in the airy world of our vacuous consciousness. 26. Therefore what thing is there, that is not capable of being produced in this ærial world, which is the production of the airy imagination of the vacuous intellect; and what thing also which is substantially produced therefrom? (The creatures of the mind, have mental forms only). 27. Therefore it is this fallacy only, which appears in the form of the visible universe; where there is nothing in real existence or inexistence; but all things appear to be _in esse_ and _non esse_, in the _Nabhas_ and in the _Nubibus_ of the divine mind.
